PROTEST BY CHINA
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) TOKYO, Aug. 31. China said today that it had lodged a strong protest with Uganda against what it called the African country’s “anti-China lies” and “provocation” against it, the Associated Press reported. The official New China (Hsinhua) News Agency, in a broadcast monitored in Tokyo, said that the Note of protest was delivered to the Ugandan Foreign Ministry by the Chinese Embassy in Kampala on Monday. The Note protested against “the groundless allegation'’ made by President Idi Amin and Radio Uganda that a Chinese colonel was killed in a recent incident on the Uganda-Tanzania border, the broadcast said.
In Kampala, President Amin said on August 24 that a Chinese Army officer wearing Tanzanian uniform died from wounds after being captured in fighting with Ugandan troops.
“That is an out-and-out lie,” the Chinese said. “Furthermore,” the Note said, “the Uganda Government exhibited the dead body of the so-called ‘Chinese colonel’ to whip up anti-China sentiments.”
